How is Radiohead live? Seeing them for the first time in Portland

Depending on what they play, either quite good or quite bad.

They play their rock focused stuff well. Anything that requires anything more fancy (i.e strings) they don't pull off well. They used to do it well, when they bothered to spend the cash to get string players to play in concert with them. Now they do shit like attempt to play songs like "Burn the Witch" on guitar. It doesn't work well.

Portland general?

so is this proof that all music from oregon is shit?

Saw them twice this tour. It was pretty shit and disappointing. And I'm a huge fan, and have seen them on 5 different occasions.

The light show is completely uninspired, but it makes sense given that the 2012 fell and killed a roadie. Most of the new songs don't translate well live. Plus the majority of what they played was pretty much butt-rock this time around; they played WAY too many songs from IR, The Bends and even fucking creep. This, along with the AMSP songs made the whole setlist too samey and whiny. Clive was underutilized as fuck.Johnny was the only one kicking ass while the rest of the gang phoned it in.

I mean, the 2012 shows were fucking amazing compared to this. LED usage was genius, they played some of their best songs, took a lot of risks, debuted a slew of new music and played some very deep cuts live. It was a fans fucking wet dream.

OK Computer [Capitol, 1997]

My favorite Pink Floyd album has always been Wish You Were Here, and you know why? It has soul, that's why--it's Roger Waters's lament for Syd, not my idea of a tragic hero but as long as he's Roger's that doesn't matter. Radiohead wouldn't know a tragic hero if they were cramming for their A levels, and their idea of soul is Bono, who they imitate further at the risk of looking even more ridiculous than they already do. So instead they pickle Thom Yorke's vocals in enough electronic marginal distinction to feed a coal town for a month. Their art-rock has much better sound effects than the Floyd snoozefest Dark Side of the Moon. But it's less sweeping and just as arid. B-

This doesn't look good for when I see them the first time in Glasgow...

Idk what people on this thread are talking about t b h
